In the DC metro area, it is usually pretty clear who will win in girls ball - until you get the best against the best. This past weekend we had the MD regional finals in all four classes, and pretty much every game was competitive. I went to one of the 4A finals Saturday and it was a very well played, fast paced game - best I have seen this season. Saw Churchill HS a couple of times earlier this year, and the games were blowouts, including their semifinal last Thursday. All of the state final four games this weekend should be tight and well-played.
Incidentally, you frequently know with the boys who will win as well, until you cut the lower teams out and get to regional semis. Disparities abound on both sides of the house. And my experience in Illinois was no different. There are some haves and have-nots out there, and the haves generally wax the have nots. Maybe not by as much with the boys, but they still win easily.
